The Mumbai Police said that Anmol Bishnoi was also in touch with shooters who killed NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique outside his son's office on October 12.

The 66-year-old NCP leader was shot dead by three men while he was bursting crackers on the occasion of Dussehra.

Through a Facebook post, a member of the Bishnoi gang claimed that they targeted Siddique due to his close relationship with actor Salman Khan and alleged links to underworld figures like Dawood Ibrahim.

So far, police have arrested 10 individuals in connection with Baba Siddique's murder, including two shooters and an arms supplier.
